Celebrities are no strangers to body-sculpting treatments and enhancements. From Kim Kardashian’s Morpheus8 skin-tightening sessions to Cardi B’s post-pregnancy liposuction and tummy tuck, these stars, among plenty more, have shared candid insights into their transformations. Whether driven by post-baby body goals, maintenance routines, or public pressures, these treatments are a growing part of many stars’ beauty regimens. Here, we spotlight ten celebrities who have opened up about the why, when and how of their body-sculpting journeys.
Khloé Kardashian
“I’ve also done CoolSculpting and treatments for the stretch marks on my butt. I’m a huge fan of lasers and I love them,” Khloé Kardashian told NewBeauty in 2015. She has often spoken about her body-contouring journey, including on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and in interviews, such as one with People in 2015, where she shared her love for radio-frequency treatments and skin-tightening options.
Cardi B
Cardi B talked openly on Instagram Live in 2019 about undergoing liposuction and a tummy tuck to regain her figure post-pregnancy. Recently, the star also shared she had a procedure earlier in the year. “In January, right after I shot ‘Like What,’ I went and got surgery,” Cardi said on Instagram Live in September. “I got some more butt injections removed because you know it takes rounds to get your butt injections removed and I also went to fix certain things with my fibrosis.”
Chrissy Teigen
“I had my armpit sucked out,” Chrissy Teigen shared with Refinery29 in 2017 about her choice to undergo armpit liposuction, explaining it made her feel more comfortable in sleeveless dresses. She’s been candid about her minor tweaks in interviews over the years.
Iggy Azalea
“I haven’t had plastic surgery in a long time. I changed what I wanted to change. I’m really happy with the changes,” Iggy Azalea shared with Emily Ratajkowski on her podcast, High Low with EmRata, discussing her decision to undergo body contouring, including liposuction, to enhance her shape.
Sharon Osbourne
“I’ve had things lifted, I’ve had things tightened, I’ve had fat sucked out of me and I’ve had it put back in.” Sharon Osbourne has shared her experience with procedures over the years on The Talk and her memoir Unbreakable, where she candidly discusses liposuction and other body procedures.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
Wrestler-turned-Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson has openly acknowledged undergoing chest liposuction in 2005. He shared that his chest had become too large after his wrestling days and the procedure helped him achieve a look that was more suited for his transition to Hollywood roles.
NeNe Leakes
Leakes shared her body contouring story in a 2010 interview with People after having a tummy tuck and liposuction, explaining her decision to go for a streamlined new look. “I’m feeling fabulous. I did a little work on my body and a tummy tuck,” said the reality star.
Teresa Giudice
In a recent RHONJ Season 14 episode, Teresa Giudice and her castmates took to EMSCULPT NEO to tighten and tone. Giudice opted for a 30-minute session on her butt. The noninvasive procedure combines high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology with radio-frequency for a firmer, more lifted look.
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian underwent a Morpheus8 radio-frequency microneedling treatment on her abdomen in 2022, sharing her experience with followers. “This is a game changer,” the Skims founder said on Instagram Stories, posting a photo of herself lying on her back with her abdomen slightly red. “I think this is my fave laser, but it’s painful LOL… worth it!”
Kanye West
In 2018, West revealed that he had undergone liposuction two years earlier. He told TMZ, “I had plastic surgery because I was trying to look good for y’all. I got liposuction because I didn’t want y’all to call me fat like y’all called Rob [Kardashian] at the wedding and made him fly home before Kim and I got married. I didn’t want y’all to call me fat, so I got liposuction, right?”
